My daddy bought me a Nook tablet for Christmas! I'm so excited!!!
I got a double discount the 16th - 18th. He was debating between getting my mom (Sonja) a Nook or an iPad. The only real differences are size, and which market they are on. Nook is on the android, and iPad is obviously apple.
But I got such a good deal that I convinced him the Nook tablet was for her. She travels a lot for work. It runs on wi-fi and so when she's stuck in a hotel, she's not confined to what's on her tv. She can get on Netflix and watch a movie! She's a reader. So she can pick it up and read whenever she has time. And there are all kinds of tools she can use for work, too!
Nooks are on a specialized android market, but you can root them to have full access to the market without voiding your warranty. It's even in the user manual, haha.
Anyway, in the process of getting her Nook, I asked if he'd buy me one too. He asked why I don't have one, and I told him because they are too expensive normally and I'm poor. So he said yes! REALLY???? Yes!!!
So happy and excited. My daddy's generosity and love... priceless. He surprises me all the time. I thought for sure he'd say no. I'm a lucky girl.
I'll be beaming for a week!
